A Final Salute

Art imitates life. After 5 years of keeping my Mac Pro’s box, it was time to finally say good-bye. Why do I like hanging on to old boxes? Perhaps it’s for nostalgia – as I attempt to relive the memories of opening the box to my (at the time) new computer and all its wondrous possibilities.

How about you? Do you keep all your tech gear’s boxes? Do you pitch them straight away? Let me know!

I tend to do the same, Coyoty. Even to the point of keeping boxes for years on end. I’d only recently gotten rid of the box that came with my PowerMac G5 -which was nearly 10 years old!) earlier this year.

I still have the box from my Apple //e that I bought in the early to mid 80’s. It’s pretty well beaten up now, full of a variety of stuff… Hmm… I don’t even have the computer anymore, I sold that in the 80’s (but then bought a newer Apple //e in the 90’s).
